Good Morning, All.

Mid-week.
And we all know what that means.
But we will get to that momentarily.

First:
Days to the Season: 240
Days to Christmas Day: 282

And now we find ourselves down to a week and a day before the arrival of 2015 Milestone number five, the 1/4 marker to Christmas Day.
(That's right -- a week from tomorrow!)

Really warm yesterday and our thermometer recorded figures well into the EIGHTIES!
Cooler today, which is good because we really don't need it that warm in mid-March.
Today has commenced at 44 degrees, here.

Well, St. Patrick's Day was yesterday but Carl doesn't seem to care.
Green. LOTS of it, at the 'Pines.
And the fired twinkies? Not green-frosted. Rather they are ENTIRELY green.
(Must have been lots of left over food coloring from yesterday!)
Well, let's go.
But just in case Carl still feels it's St. Patrick's Day, I suggest you wear green.
(You haven't lived until you've been pinched by a camel!)

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!

Happy Pines Day, Crown!

Mine is going well too, thank you. Just got back from Rosie's vet appointment. All is well and she doesn't have to go back until next year. I saw the cutest little Yorkie puppy in the waiting room while I was there. My heart melted!

The Yorkie puppy sounds precious!!

I am off to work for the day, I just hope the day moves fast.

I will see you all tonight at the Pines, I heard there is a chance you could win a set of Hump day pajamas. cheesy I may have to join that raffle.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good afternoon, Xmas! Hope you're enjoying your day off! See you at the Pines tonight!

Ugggggghhhhh! This stuff that they make you drink, is enough to gag a maggot....It-taste-like......:-( I have one more glass to go for the first 32 ounces, then I have to drink 16 oz of water and then do it all over again tonight....

I think I'd rather have my tooth pulled out, then drink this last glass full of this stuff...Yuck....

Well, good afternoon! My is the time just flying by today, pretty soon it will be time to meet at the Pines. Wonder what Carl has up his sleeve tonight, especially since yesterday was St Patrick's Day?

Unfortunately, I will have to take a rain check for tonight for myself because I will be home studying for my colonoscopy exam for tomorrow morning. For me, it will be a pain in my backside, a stab in the dark, a trip to boldly go where no one has been before..... Boy, I'm on a roll today.....

I just crack myself up!!!!!

That there ain't right!!!!

I just talked to Carl and he said that he would send you something to help you forget anything that might happen tonight and tomorrow!! LOL!!

I hope it all goes well and that it comes back clean!!!

Yep. We have to make a ton of sides just so everyone will have a couple that they will eat.

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! We are off to a cold start here with a temp of 31 currently. We should reach 50 this afternoon though so not to bad. I have my daily chores to do today and then I'm going to work on finding some new recipes to try for Easter. I'm tired of having the same old stuff every holiday. I also need to figure out what I'm going to get my niece for her birthday so I can get it ordered. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Good afternoon, buddy! Hope you're finding some new recipes to try out and found a birthday gift for your niece! Hope you're having a great day as well!

Good morning. I slept in just a tad this morning, because at midnight last night, we had to drive back down to Baltimore and pick my daughter up from a birthday party for one of her close childhood friends that is home on college break. So, needless to say, after the midnight road trip, it was not till about 2am before we got to bed last night.

I just looked at the weather (if you have not noticed, but I love keeping tabs on the weather), look what's coming for the first day of spring:

More snow..... Looks like with this map, Merry, xmas, HMG, Sugar, etc... may get to see some flakes as well, Hecks far...There's plenty to go around, I'll share.....

Good afternoon, Xmastidings! Hope you're having a great day and aren't too tired today!

Not looking forward to the snow here. I just wish it would stay warm, but it's not that time of the year yet!

Yuck!!! I hope you can add some kind of flavor in there to help get that taste out of your mouth!!!!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

The turkey tacos were a hit last night, but salsa fixes a lot of issues with food!

The guys who were in for the tour yesterday left after lunch...heading to Savannah, and St. Patrick's Day on River Street LOL! It's a big, throw-down party in Savannah. I used to go on years when the band got booked to play, but I would never go just to party. WOW, there are a lot of, uh, uninhibited people on River St. that night, let me tell you. If I told you all the things I've seen while playing there, your hair would stand on end! LOL

Now I have to catch up on the things I didn't do yesterday.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good afternoon, Brad! Hope you're having a great day!

Hey guys! WOW It has been awhile! And I really have missed you all and our fun conversations!
My heart is heavy and sad to report my dad passed away at 4:00 AM on Sunday night/Monday morning! 3/16/15 - honestly I still can't believe it's true! Still waiting to wake up and it's a dream! His viewing is tomorrow and his viewing/services are Thursday morning! We had family and friends over here tonight – and you would not believe the amount of food we had on our island! We could eat for two weeks! The gathering tonight was supposed to be just my family but friends kept showing up with food and gifts/memorials – they are awesome and crazy! I'm exhausted and I'm getting a terrible cold! But we will keep trucking along! My mom is such a trooper – we will lead by her example!

Hope you're all having a great week!

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad...many prayers for you and your family.

Hope your daughter had fun last night!!! Glad you were able to sleep in some too!!

They are saying we may see snow next Monday. Yuck. LOL!!!!

Enjoy the rest of your day, Xmastidings!!!!

LOL!!! Yep!!! I was ready for it to cool back off the other day when we hit the 70's.

Thanks, I did finally pass out and got about 4 hours.

Thanks, HMG!!!!! Hope your family isn't as picky as mine and that you can find some new recipes that everyone will love!!

Thanks, Buddy!!! Hope you are having an awesome day as well!!!

xx

WooHoo!! I know where I'm going to next year for St. Patrick's day!!! LOL!!!

Hope you can catch up quickly, Brad!!!! Have a great day!!!

Nope. I've been watching and he hasn't logged in since then.

I was hoping that his sugar was just low since he is diabetic and that's what was causing him the problems.

I've looked back through everything I have and can't find any info for him. I've done some searching online too and can't find him.

Good Afternoon, Buddy!!!! Hope you have had a wonderful day so far and that the rest of the day goes even better!!! Thinking of you too!!!

xx

I was thinking the same thing - maybe his sugar was acting up and causing him to act the way he was.
